Farm Girl In New York is a romantic comedy movie released in 1965, directed by Sherman Marks and starring Judy Pennebaker as the lead character, Holly. The story revolves around a young girl, Holly, who leaves her small town farm in upstate New York to pursue her dream of becoming a Broadway actress in New York City. Holly's journey to the city is full of adventures and misadventures. She mostly relies on her kind-hearted nature and innocence to help her navigate through life. Her only companion is her pet duck, Wilbur, who is a source of comfort and companionship throughout her journey.

Holly arrives in New York City with a lot of enthusiasm and optimism, hoping to land a role in a Broadway play. However, her naive and unsophisticated nature fails to impress the agents and producers she approaches. She is broke and homeless, and her dream of becoming an actress seems to be slipping away.

Holly's fortunes change when she meets two young men, Tim (William Michael) and Tom (William Guhl), who are fascinated by her carefree personality and her uniqueness. Tim and Tom are up-and-coming songwriters who are struggling to make it big in the city. They are looking for a fresh and unique voice to showcase their talent, and Holly seems like the perfect fit.

Tim and Tom convince Holly to sing in their musical during a party, which turns out to be a big hit. Holly's performance catches the attention of a prominent producer, Larry (Stanley Clements), who offers her a role in his upcoming musical. Holly's dream of becoming a Broadway actress finally comes true.

As Holly's career takes off, she is caught in a love triangle between Tim and Tom, both of whom fall for her charm and innocence. While Tim is shy and introverted, Tom is confident and outgoing, and both offer her different things. Holly has to choose between the two men while also trying to navigate her career in the cutthroat Broadway industry.

The movie is a classic fish-out-of-water story that explores the conflict between Holly's small-town values and the ruthless world of showbiz. Judy Pennebaker delivers a wonderful performance as Holly, capturing the naive and innocent nature of the character perfectly. Her chemistry with William Michael and William Guhl is palpable, making the love triangle an engaging subplot.

The supporting cast is also noteworthy, particularly Stanley Clements, who portrays the sleazy and manipulative Larry with great verve. The movie's themes of following your dreams, staying true to yourself, and finding love in unexpected places are timeless and resonate even today.

The movie's setting in 1960s New York adds to its charm, showcasing the city's hustle-bustle and glamour. The movie's soundtrack, featuring catchy songs like "Farm Girl In New York" and "Yes, I'm Gonna Be A Star," is also a highlight, with Judy Pennebaker's singing adding an extra layer of authenticity to the character's journey.

Overall, Farm Girl In New York is a charming and uplifting movie that will leave viewers with a smile on their faces. The movie's feel-good nature combined with the talented performances of the cast makes it a must-see for anyone who loves classic romantic comedies.
